Can organizations in New England working on environmental triggers of asthma apply for funding under this solicitation?
No. “The EPA Region 1 states’ (agencies) of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont are expressly excluded from this funding Initiative. Funding was available directly from the Region 1 Office through a different solicitation known as the Healthy Communities Grant Program to support New England states’ efforts in the arena of childhood asthma and related community-based endeavors. See http://www.epa.gov/region01/grants/healthycommunities.html or contact Sandra Padula at (617) 918-1797 for more information.” Note: entities other than state environment and health agencies and regional air authorities should see the next Q & A as well.
